    Well, finally got the new bike. I did post up in 'Lets see your Cubes' last week. Thought I'd follow this thread up also. In the end, I decided to go for the Cube reaction hybrid race 750. Picking it up last Wednesday morning. whilst getting the run down from the bike shop, my office were...

    I'm wondering if we should start up a separate thread, so we can assist and help others on how we manage pain relief, joint care and wellbeing 😁 😁 😁😁(y):D I find CBD oil a great help, was using the capsules, but didn't think too much of them.

    Yeah, I understand that. There's also the set up/maintenance side too. I'll go with a suspension seat post and save a bit of cash 😁 On the Audi side of things, I owned a S2 a number of years ago. Shouldn't have sold it, but hey ho.

    It would be a waste on me, I've no real desire to jump and go large, never really did jumps before to be honest. Even when I was blasting about on 250 crossers, I'd be fine on flat tracks and the berms but never felt comfortable jumping. Can't justify the extra expense to go for a decent full...

    Totally agree. The way things have evolved it's amazing. With the amount of travel and absorption they have, no wonder people are going higher and farther with jumps. I've had a shot of a pretty well sorted full suspension bike last year, non battery. Was very impressed how comfortable and...

    This is exactly the kind of thing that I'm hoping for. I'm glad to hear that you're up and about a lot more, finding things easier too. Feel your pain too, exactly the same experience here. Fine going about on a normal bike, pay for it tenfold. Motorcycle accident back in 94 where my left knee...

    Well, the current mental age is about 25, my bones feel about 75 due to misuse over the years :LOL: The test went well. Impressed with the hill assist. The wider handlebars I'm not used to, will keep at it or change at some point. It's definitely got my interest. Discussed a few things with...

    How do folks? Looking to get into ebiking as my knees are starting to complain. 52 and a number of accidents over the years has taken its toll 😁 I've my eyes on a Scott aspect eride 940. Been looking online and not seen any real reviews. Hopefully going for a test ride on Thursday. Cheers...
